Tiny Treasure Hunt

ages 1-5

Supplies

Dish towel, a box, a basket, a shopping bag, toys, snacks.

Activity Detail

Loosely hide some tempting objects in your garden for your toddler to find and investigate. For little ones, you might use bigger objects and give a few hints; older children will enjoy more of a challenge. Try a folded-up dish towel with some toys hidden inside, a box to open with a snack inside, an upside down basket to turn over and discover a favorite stuffed animal 'hiding,' a bag to look inside and find a toy. This is also a fun activity to do on an outing at the park -- make what has become commonplace seem like a brand-new adventure!

My kids love this activity. They like to pretend that they're pirates on the hunt for buried treasure!
